Case example of an 11 year-old girl with 38 degrees curvature, Tanner II, corrected to 19 degrees after two years of brace treatment (2005–2007), followed by part-time bracing. Clinically, the patient has improved significantly. Current braces work with much less material than conventional braces, thus providing more comfort to the patients.
